So apart from clearing the driveshaft, it gives another setting for the rear ARB .... F HARD, right?

How does that affect the handling, if at all?

Dials-out a lot of the understeer that's present if your current set-up is both the front and rear H&R ARBs set to stiff (i.e. the 'inner' of the 2 holes on the ARBs) - additionally it 'firms' up the rear of the car; stays flatter in corners - bear in mind I also had the stock plastic S4 drop-links replaced by the RS2 metal versions (but I'm not sure if these can be used on the RS4?)
